Instructions
- 1
Combine almond butter, peanut butter, and coconut oil in a bowl and stir until completely smooth and well blended.
Tip: If your nut butters are cold, you can gently warm the mixture for 10 seconds in the microwave to make mixing easier.
- 2
Add maple syrup, smoked paprika, sea salt, and liquid smoke to the nut mixture and whisk together until the color is even and all spices are distributed throughout.
Tip: Taste a tiny bit on your finger to adjust the smoky flavor to your preference before proceeding.
- 3
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped cashews, stirring gently so the chocolate pieces stay mostly whole.
Tip: Reserve some chocolate chips and cashew pieces to press onto the tops of your bites for a nice presentation.
- 4
Line a small baking tray with parchment paper and use a cookie scoop or small spoon to portion the mixture into 12 equal mounds, spacing them about 3 centimeters apart.
Tip: Slightly wet your hands and gently press each portion into a compact bite sized ball.
- 5
Press a few reserved chocolate chips and cashew pieces onto the top of each bite for decoration.
- 6
Place the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes until the bites are firm and hold their shape when picked up.
Tip: You can also refrigerate for 45 minutes if you prefer, but freezing is faster.
- 7
Transfer the cooled bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to one month.
Tip: Let them sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before eating if you've stored them in the freezer, so they're easier to bite through.
